Salam!!!

Well, i havenot faced such kind of issues. Its about months i am running applications
and their performance also seems to be good enough.

Secondly, why using srpms, another way i gave the source download, well man
cpan is not be useable in this scenario.


Hi

I think the general point being made is that CentOS has a package management system and that you will save yourself a lot of hassle if you always use that system where possible. Lets say you use CPAN to install perl-XXXX the RPM database has no idea that perl-XXXX has been installed so if at a later date an RPM is created that supplies perl-XXXX you can get into a very confusing situation.

In my earlier days as a Linux admin coming from a Unix Background I did as you suggest using Red Hat based systems and installing software from places like CPAN or compiling from source without making RPMS. But when you get to the point where you are managing a large number systems this turns into a LOT of complication that isn't needed. So if you are managing a number of systems I suggest you take the time to learn about creating and rebuilding RPMS. Once you get used to this it will safe you a lot of effort.

Have a nice day :)

    CPAN is horrible and is a good way to break your system (it can
    replace perl
    modules provided in the system with newer api incompatable
    ones).  i suggest
    you grab the srpm from fedora and build a rpm that you can install
    and keep
    track of what is installed on your system.
